RONI HORN 7 May � 19 June 2010, Hauser & Wirth New York Beginning May 7th, Hauser & Wirth New York will present the first exhibition in the United States ever devoted exclusively to the drawings of artist Roni Horn. The show will include six new, large-scale works never before shown publicly. Up to eight by ten feet in size, these astoundingly complex and ultimately enveloping pieces form a group the artist has titled �Else.� The exhibition will remain on view through June 19th. Horn�s pigment drawings, which she began in the 1980s, have become increasingly large and more complex. Horn begins with two drawings of similar forms, which she refers to as �plates.� The two plates are then brought together through a process of cutting and pasting to create a new form and identity. These drawings, like all of Horn�s photographic and sculptural installations, continue the exploration of identity through doubling, repetition, and the paired form. The critic Paulo Herkenhoff wrote about Horn�s drawings: �No matter how dismembered a drawing might be, it is held together by different stages of nearness.� |
